IPhone 4 won't recognize that it is plugged in.

Hello-
I have a iPhone 4 and it's a few months old. Yesterday morning I plugged it in and it charged.. everything was fine. I went to plug it in when it was around 9% and it wouldn't recognize that it was plugged in. So I tried different chargers, different sockets, wall vs USB... Nothing did it. I tired to hard reset, but the only thing that happens when I hold down the sleep and home button is the icon that says I need to plug it in to something. An Apple won't appear and I it won't reset.
I left it plugged into the wall outlet over night; still got no where and tried everything listed above. Perhaps it is the charge port? I am not sure..Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks!

My Macbook did the same thing. The adapter quit charging one morning. I bought a new magsafe from Apple, and after some "discussion" A new battery was also sent=Gratis.
Unfortunately, even after hours on the phone with tech support my laptop will not charge despite a new battery and a new adapter. I have of course followed to the letter all of the recommended software updates including power/management/memory/reset programming with the assistance of tech support. I reinstalled the operating system numerous times as well. My laptop won't charge since the day six months ago it suddenly failed. It was perfect until that moment. There MUST be an explanation, yes, the adapter sending grounded power perhaps, causing a .25 cent diode to fail. Sad that the circuit board was not gated for better protection from a short circuit.
Please let us know how's it going?

  • My macbook won't recognize that it is plugged in- will not charge

    I have had my macbook for about a year or so, and this problem started last night. I had had it running on battery power until it was near empty, and I tried plugging it in and nothing happened- the light on the cord did not light, the charging icon did not appear on the screen, and the power continued to drain. I tried plugging the power cord into a different outlet, with no success. I went to a different floor in my house and plugged it in there, still nothing. The battery ran down to 0 and still it will not charge- do I need a new power cord?

  • My computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

    my computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

    You have to sync your photos from iTunes , if you cannot see iphone in itunes it might be due to itunes being corrupted or the apple driver issue.
    To fix this, try the following:
    1.Uninstall iTunes completely , and Re-install the latest version of iTunes, download it from apple website
    2. Check whether its a hardware related issue , by using the phone with a different firewire
    3. if it does show up in iTunes , and still facing the issue then try restoring the iphone [setting it up as a new phone , DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP] and then try re-syncing 
    4. I dont think the format of the photos matter , but still try syncing different format photos [generally JPEG formats are used]

  • Why won't my computer recognize that I am plugging in my ipod? itunes will not recognize it either

    I keep plugging my ipod into the computer and it will not recognize that anything id plugged in. Also, itunes will not recognize that it is plugged in either. It is a 2nd generation ipod

    I'm having the exact same problem with my iPod Nano 2nd Gen.  Neither the new MacBook Pro nor the 1 year old Mac Pro will recognize it.  I authorized both computers but the Nano doesn't show up on either.  Strange because I have the iPod Classic (from 2000) and it works fine.

  • Computer doesn't recognize that ipod is plugged in

    So I've had this ipod for at least a year now and have been using the same computer for the past 7 months and it's always worked fine. Now all of the sudden my computer doesn't recognize that it is plugged in. It's not even that it doesn't recognize the USB device it's not there period. I tried manually putting it into disk mode but it still didn't recognize it. Please help!!

  • TS3499 My 2012 Macbook Pro recognizes that it is plugged in but says not charging.

    My 2012 Macbook Pro recognizes that it is plugged in but says not charging. The LED light on the L shaped power adapter is not illuminated. I've tried cleaning it, updating my software, everything on this Apple support page: Portables: L-shaped MagSafe power adapter does not charge computer and LED indicator light does not illuminate
    Is there anything else I can try before I have to take it into the Apple Store? I live in a rural area and it is about a 3 hour trip to the nearest Apple Store.

    I have also reset the SMC with no avail. :/

  • ITunes won't recognize that my iPhone is plugged in

    I hadn't used my MacBook Pro in a month or so, so I thought I'd check iTunes for updates and update/sync my iPhone. However, when I plugged the USB cable into my Mac, nothing ever popped up in iTunes recognizing that anything was plugged in. I tried the other USB ports with the same result.
    Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Ditto-here. All of a sudden, iphone is not recognized. I did the latest update of itunes and still not recognized. Any help is appreciated.

  • I can't restore my iphone.  when i plug it in, the phone recognizes that it is plugged into itunes, but itunes doesn't recognize it

    My iphone charges when I plug it into my computer, but itunes doesn't recognize that any device is attached (I have the latest version; a pc, not a mac; it's a Verizon iphone).  Also, the phone's info button (which should tell me the serial number) says "MEID: Unknown".  Apple support won't help me without the serial number...
    Ideally, I would like a button combination to restore the phone to factory settings, so that I can activate it.  Or at least figure out the serial number so I can get tech support.

    Serial # is below the model# on the BOX !!
    looks like you bought a Craked Iphone and Not a NEW one from Apple direct or the carrier.

  • My iTunes won't register that I have plugged in my iPhone 5.

    I got a new iPhone 5 and when I plugged it into iTunes it wouldn't pick up that I had an iPhone connected to the computer.  I plugged it in again today and it registered but it wouldn't load or sync. So after that I backed up my iTunes library, deleted iTunes from my computer and reinstalled it.
    After this I plugged in my iPhone and I got an error message saying that the computer recognised that an iPhone device was connected to the computer but it wasn't working properly and to reconnect it which I did but now it just isn't registering it again!
    What do I do :/
    Also, it won't take photos. It'll make the sound and the shutter will close but it won't reopen and nothing will be sent to the album. I also haven't been able to download photos from the internet into the album.

    eject before disconnecting
    Always drag the iPod icon on the Desktop to the Recyle Bin before removing the iPod from the computer, or in iTunes menu bar click Controls / Eject (name of iPod)

  • Mac won't recognize when usb is plugged in

    I'm new to Mac but I can't figure out why it won't recognize when I plug in something via USB. I have tried using both my printer and iPod/iPhone. I have looked under applications and then utilities in finder and under devices it isn't there. What am I doing wrong/how do I fix this?

    When you connect an external device to your MBP, an icon should appear on your desk top.  Since your printer and your iPod use different USB cables, it does point to a problem resident in the MBP.  It seems to me that a visit to a Genius Bar at the Apple store is in order.
    Ciao.
